Find Living Relatives

HiThere
Can someone help me please- if Im searching a person and he was adopted in the 50's, is there a birth certificate issued in their name when the adoption takes place.

Hi Ann-Marie,



a birth certificate is issued in the normal way PRE-adoption in the given birth name or given surname.,,,

there is also an issue certificate which legally replaces the original birth certificate AFTER/POST adoption but this is not indexed for public access or open to the public as it contains any new names/ and aslo that of the adopted parents,

Both posted at 1759 - probably a server delay

HI Ann-Marie
theirs a adoption register you can request to leave your details on for the adopted person if they wont to get in touch with birth family

There is the ACR Adopted Children's Register which is open to the public on Microfiche, it holds the New Name ,Volume Number and Entry Number. The years held are from 1927 onwards....

Jane - how does that work?

Are the original names cross referenced to the index with the new names?

What I'm trying to say is...if you know the birth name, can you look that up and then find the adoptive name?

The direct.gov.uk link, but it doesn't mention Microfiche.

Do you have any idea where the fiche would be held/available to view?

Although not personally effected, the information would be useful to a lot of people on GR

You can never find an adopted name.

No the names are not cross referenced, it is in the art of elimination, there are thousands of names for each year.... An Adopted name can be found from obtaining the correct cert.

Thankyou everyone, very helpful indeed.

sorry to but in on the original question . jane , how do you start to eliminate name if you have thousends of names on adoption microfinch ? i have over 800 that were adopted in 1952 and were born in 1951 . not sure how to eliminate down to 1 that might be my adopted brother ? val

You can't find someone's adopted name Valerie.

The Indexes show the year, then the adopted name , and next to that the year of birth of the adopted person.
I was able to trace the new name, but that was because they where adopted several years after their birth.
